NOTICE is hereby given in accordance with Section XXVII of the Byelaws that the Council of the Society has approved proposals to alter the Byelaws on the Council and its meetings (Section VII) as hereunder and that it intends to make such alterations after the expiry of 60 days from the date of this notice.
SECTION VII
Paragraph 3 At the end of the paragraph add the following: "A member of Council who personally incurs expenditure in employment of a pharmacist to take personal control of registered retail pharmacy premises in order to comply with the requirements of the Medicines Act 1968 whilst the member of Council is engaged on Council business shall be entitled to reimbursement of sums expended not exceeding £200 per day."
Paragraph 7 Delete "six" and insert "fourteen".
ANN LEWIS
Secretary and Registrar
Explanation: The proposed addition to Paragraph 3 relates only to expenditure incurred by a member of Council personally; reimbursement to a body corporate cannot be allowed. The proposed amendment to Paragraph 7 is to facilitate earlier circulation of Council agendas.
NOTICE is hereby given in accordance with Section XXVII of the Byelaws that the Council of the Society has approved proposals to alter the Byelaws on annual and special general meetings (Section VI) as hereunder and that it intends to make such alterations after the expiry of 60 days from the date of this notice.
SECTION VI
Paragraph 2 Delete "inserted in The Pharmaceutical Journal" and insert "sent to members to arrive".
ANN LEWIS
Secretary and Registrar
Explanation: As the annual report is not now published within The Pharmaceutical Journal it is felt that it would be more efficient if one department was responsible for its production rather than two. The amendment is therefore proposed so that The Pharmaceutical Journal will no longer have a role in the production of the annual report of the Council.
AT the annual general meeting of the Scottish Department of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, held on June 14, 2000, the result of the election for members of the Executive was given as follows:
The first six in the above list were declared elected. However, in consequence of the resignation of Mrs E. Roddick from the Scottish Executive, Mr Edward J. H. Mallinson has been co-opted on to the executive. His tenure will be the remainder of Mrs Roddick's term of office, which expires in 2002.
The number of voting papers issued was 3,842; 714 were returned, of which 18 were incomplete and two were invalid.
